Yeah it rules especially when u consider that crappy suspension it has. Is it sporty or luxurious? Which one Acura? Well you did a good job on making it neither. It feels real floaty at high speeds too.
Worst transmission I've ever felt. The triptronic shifts so damn slow, it's gotta 1-2 second delay. The normal automatic functioning is so slow and delayed, not crisp at all.
Back seats have no back support.
Engine RPMS are way too low on the freeway, car has to downshift two gears to pass anyone, and with that wonderful auto tranny you dont wanna have it downshift two gears.
Other than that it's an awesome car for the money. Honestly, it is a great car, but there are some critical things that I've listed above that just kill it for me.
